#34 "Take a Glass Blowing Class" - Done! I took Hot Glass 101 at Studio 34 in Rochester NY, we didnt have a glory hole or anything to work with but we worked with a torch. Now, I am addicted! I love it, I even asked for my own torch or Christmas!! I've already made all kinds of beautiful beads at Open Torch. Amazing, I love it, So SO happy. You can see photos of it here --> http://www.lovelistsforlife.blogspot.com/ There are photos of my work station :) everyone should try this!

#48 "Do Something Creative With My Mom" - We went to Splatters! A place in Spencerport where we painted pottery. I can't disclose what I painted right now because they were Christmas Presents for the bf and who knows if he'd read this blog so- dont want to take any chances, but they're beautiful, and we spent about 3 hours doing it, it was amazing and fun!!

#53 " Read 10 new Books" - I've just completed Book Number Five - we're half way tehre - I read Kelly Coutrone's "If you Have to Cry, Go Outside." It was a most excellent book and was everything I need, and wanted it to be. Two Thumbs up for Kelly Coutrone on this one :)
